THOR Metrics Dashboard

THOR has developed a dashboard to monitor the evolving landscape of persistent identifiers (PIDs) over the life of the project and beyond. Access the dashboard at:

http://dashboard.project-thor.eu

Audience

The dashboard is intended for repository managers, integrators, policy makers, and all others interested in the interplay of persistent identifiers broadly. Its role is that of a high level aggregator of PID information. The dashboard does not have the level of granularity necessary to be used as a tool for monitoring outputs of individual researchers.

Data Sources

The dashboard harvests publicly available information from the following sources:

DataCite Metadata Search
- Documentation - https://search.datacite.org/help.html
- API endpoint - http://search.datacite.org/api
ORCID Statistics
- Documentation - https://pub.orcid.org/v2.0_rc1#!/Statistics_API_v2.0_rc1/
- API endpoint - https://pub.orcid.org/v2.0_rc1/statistics
CrossRef
- Documentation - http://api.crossref.org/
- API endpoint - http://api.crossref.org/

Sharing

The dashboard code is Open Source. It is available on GitHub in two parts:

Dashboard (for visualization of the data) - http://github.com/thor-project/dashboard
Data Harvester (for aggregating the data) - http://github.com/thor-project/data-harvester
